Feed you falsly, to fantasize.
Fooled clean, then you realize.
What is a lie disguised as truth?
You preach to me, I’ll preach to you.
On your feet, the truth is said.
Tyranny’s knocking, shoot it dead.
Don’t let them make you kneel and bob.
Truth be told, inside job.
Something wicked, this way comes.
Rotten lies, from bleeding gums.
Constitution, the Bill of Rights.
They disapear with all their lies.
On your feet, the truth is said.
Tyranny’s knocking, shoot it dead.
Don’t let them make you kneel and bob.
Truth be told, inside job.
This is sober, yeah this is real.
Free humanity, start to feel
Porcelain Tub
Porcelain tub, hundred years old.
Filled with water, reflects the glow.
Of a candle’s single flame, and the memories all that remain.
Fairest maid the fall had seen.
Fell in love with a traveler’s dream.
Promises to have and hold, until death parted their souls.
Wedding bells on a winter’s day.
Porcelain tub to her he gave.
Hundred years old, a rare antique.
Claws of brass for it’s feet.
Weeks went by, spring colors bloomed.
Could not hide the black and blue.
Fairest maid, her tears ignored.
Bore the rage of his selfish chore.
Porcelain tub, hundred years old.
Water red, reflects no glow.
Of a candle’s single flame.
And her memories run from her veins.
Lori’s Song
I’ve been walking backwards for so long now
always figuring something’s gotta give.
I ain’t got no time for this, patience’s wearing thin,
get out of my way cause’ I got life to live.
Because I ain’t quitin’ yet, no not ever.
The band’s still rippin’ dance ain’t near being done.
The tank is full that open road is calling.
Put the pedal down, man I’m on the run.
Going back home to Kiester, cause’ I wanna be there
where my heart belongs and my soul is free.
Don’t need much more of anything
just my country home and my loving family.
There’s a thought you might be thinking.
With the hand I was dealt ain’t no chance for me to win.
The funny thing’s all I see is aces.
Now that’s the reason for these dimples in my grin.
Because I ain’t quitin’ yet, no not ever.
My hand is smokin’ hot and I’m all in.
I got two pretty babies I’m a callin’ my angels.
And my sweet sweet honey takin’ me like the wind.
We’re going back home to Kiester, cause’ I wanna be there
where my heart belongs and my soul is free.
Don’t need much more of anything
just my country home and my loving family.
This old road has been a windy one indeed,
but I thank God for giving me all I need.
I’m going back home to Kiester, cause’ I wanna be here
where my heart belongs and my soul is free.
Back home to Kiester, cause’ I wanna be there
where my heart belongs and my soul is free.
Don’t need much more of anything
just my country home and my loving family.
Limbo Ladies’ Man
Limbo ladies’ man, don’t really know jut how I got here.
Limbo ladies’ man, it don’t matter I ain’t going nowhere.
Not to heaven or hell, with the angels or the damned.
A limbo ladies’ man. Limbo ladies’ man.
Traveled on the road to heaven, but it just weren’t right for me.
I even spent a little spell in Hotel Purgatr’y.
I heard of all the parties in hell down below.
But big boys we can’t stand to sweat, I found another place to go.
Now I’m a limbo ladies’ man, don’t really know jut how I got here.
Limbo ladies’ man, it don’t matter I ain’t going nowhere.
Not to heaven or hell, with the angels or the damned.
A limbo ladies’ man. Limbo ladies’ man.
People say I look like Zac, but man I disagree.
Well he’s a better looking boy than I could ever be.
My beard is getting old and grey, my head reflects the sun.
No matter all them limbic gals, they call me daddy fun.
Yeah I’m a limbo ladies’ man, don’t really know jut how I got here.
Limbo ladies’ man, it don’t matter I ain’t going nowhere.
Not to heaven or hell, with the angels or the damned.

Limbo ladies’ man, don’t really know just how I got here.
Limbo ladies’ man, it don’t matter I ain’t going nowhere.
Limbo ladies’ man, don’t really care just where I’m going.
A Man’s Gotta Make A Living
Reading the lips between sips of the folks at the bar.
Sayin’ “ooo I really love this song”.
They know every word, feel every note, humb every line.
Takes em’ to a place they wish they were.
Mix in a smile, all the while, heart is longing to breath.
Those crisp clean mountain ranges, sunset lovin’ you and me.
But for now, take a bow, spill your sweat and your blood.
Do like your daddy did, play your gig, your time’s gonna come boy.
Seems to me I got nothin’ left to show.
And it feels just like the day before.
And they’re pouring the same drinks, while I’m singing the same the songs.
Always knew I wanted more. Felt so right when it was wrong.
And here I am doing this all again, cause’ a man’s gotta make a living.
A man’s gotta make a living.
Fillin’ the house, with the crowds, but dreaming on dirt road driving.
With his lovely, lovely lady, her hair blowing in the wind.
Chasing the sun, all day fun, it’s so good to be free.
Let’s get lost together baby, you and me.
Seems to me I got a little more to go.
But today’s the day, there’s so much in store.
And they’re pouring the same drinks, while I’m singing the same the songs.
Always knew I wanted more. Felt so right when it was wrong.
And here I am doing this all again, cause’ a man’s gotta make a living.
And that crazy love, it’s gonna find you love.
It’s gonna tear that heart right out of you.
Cause’ you were born on the road, you’re a gyspy soul.
Don’t deny it boy, cause’ it’s a part of you.
And they’re pouring the same drinks, while I’m singing the same the songs.
Always knew I wanted more. Felt so right when it was wrong.
And here I am doing this all again, here I am doing this all again.
Here I am doing this all again, cause’ a man’s gotta make a living.
A man’s gotta make a living.
Snowman
Do you sleep soft and sound like a baby confound to her dreamery?
Singing songs that resound for the lovers and the gods, now a memory.
Dreaming that wind will come back again and sail my stagnant vessel.
Clawing to hope, with sand for my rope, as I fell to the earth weeping, weeping.
Do you find yourself now and again saying how did I get to here?
Did I make a mistake, speak my words late, waste another year?
Trapped and confused and confined to this room, while the picture of you is fading.
I have to let go, of the little that I hold, or the rest of my life I’ll be waiting, waiting.
Cause’ I don’t think I’ll ever feel, the same as when we met that year.
My troubled mind, with all those fears.
Your smile made me believe.
Are you sitting somewhere, just hoping to snare a faint glimpse of me?
And screaming so loud, that you’re really proud, for the chance to be.
Free of my ghost, haunting you mostly, all of the days you are lonely.
Faulting the snow, the northern winds blow, hiding the seeds of our story.
No chance for sowing.
Cause’ I don’t think I’ll ever feel, the same as when we met that year.
My troubled mind, with all those fears.
Your smile made me believe.
Cause’ I don’t think I’ll ever feel, the same as when we met that year.
My troubled mind, with all those fears.
Your smile made me believe.
Waiting On Your Ghost
Remember how, you used to say?
We’d never ever end up that way.
Fix me. Fix you. Escape to the mountain top.
Draw me a map. Write me a note.
Tell me when to stop.
Wasn’t it you that said to me?
Fate waits it’s turn in line like destiny.
I’m not really sure, not really sure, what my life would be.
If you hadn’t come, through them doors, been just what I need.
Just what I need.
And though our days be, tattered and torn.
We have not lost the flame.
I’d rather love you, for who you are.
Than waste my time away, away.
Waiting on your ghost, waiting on your ghost.
Waiting on your ghost, waiting on your ghost.
Waiting on your ghost, waiting on your ghost.
I’m not waiting on your ghost, waiting on your ghost.
Brandi Carlile
Got you Brandi on my mind.
While I’m trying to unwind.
Listening to you sing your love songs.
They sure are the healing kind.
I can’t take it anymore.
My bleeding heart is on the floor.
Hear you singing ‘cross them airwaves.
I must say your songs I adore.
Tasty tempos got me stompin’.
These worn out boots on the ground.
Oh your meter makes me wanting.
Girl you never to stop.
Brandi darlin understand.
My weary soul it’s on the mend.
I ain’t singing no more sad songs.
From now on I’m a happy man.
Tasty tempos got me stompin’.
These worn out boots on the ground.
Oh your meter makes me wanting.
Girl you never to stop.
There ain’t nothing more to say.
Save it for a rainy day.
I’m just soakin’ up your sunshine, it’s sure fine, thank you for the rays.
I’m just soakin’ up your sunshine, it’s sure fine, thank you for the rays.

Harmony
I’m sick and tired of hearing myself cry when I sleep.
So I think I’ll turn off my feelings so I can get some relief.
All I am constantly hearing is your gentle smile.
And that change that comes over me when your eyes dance with mine.
But if you’re not ready to love me, then I stand by your choice.
I guess all I’m really asking is to join me in one voice.
As we fall to our knees,
And pray that we never stop singing.
Because harmony is all that we have.
To keep us from ever forgetting.
The moment our voices met.
Holy is the one who is letting us feel this love inside.
Answers will be there for us if we have faith like a child’s.
But if you’re not ready to love me, then I stand by your choice.
I guess all I’m really asking is to join me in one voice.
As we fall to our knees,
And pray that we never stop singing.
Because harmony is all that we have.
To keep us from ever forgetting.
The moment our voices met.
I’ll be right here when you’re ready.
No words will you have to say.
As long we just keep on singing.
Everything will be ok.
I’m sick and tired of worry.
So I think I’ll just smile.
